I've seen this story posted over and over on various Minot news sites. They paid this company over a half million dollars to come to Minot, and then Minot leaders are acting like them coming into Minot is a gift from the heavens. This company is going to employee 80 people in about 3 years. As an oil company, they should not have needed tax payers moeny to expand in Minot. They should use their own resources if they are such a progressive company. I think Minot is just trying to give the impression that they are an oil company destination...and they will be, as long as they pay the companies to move in.But the taxpayers can only afford so much.

I had to laugh when I read that Tioga got so mad when the city of Minot leaders proclaimed themselves the oil capital of ND, now Tioga had the title trademarked for themselves. Pretty smart move on Tioga's part. Kind of put the arrogant Minot leaders in their place.

I have to agree with you Carol. I laughed when I read Minot was claiming this title. I think they just got caught up in the big Bakken announcement, and since the Williston Basin expo was being held in Minot this year, I suppose it was a good time to try promote Minot. Even though they are on the east end of all the activity. Oh well. Congrats to Tioga though:)
